The popular beachfront gay and lesbian resort is midway between Cairns and Port Douglas.
Skinny Dips Resort and Spa in Cairns is offering a four-night deal including breakfasts, airport transfers, dinners, activities, relaxation, and a tad more revelry, from $795.

In Port Douglas, the Pink Flamingo Resort has a “Tickled Pink” package including four night’s accommodation, a Great Barrier Reef cruise, Cape Tribulation Rainforest Safari and entertainment, for $1366 for two people.
